Thank you, Hon. Speaker for protecting me from Hon. Kajwang’ and those who are exiting. Hon. Kajwang’ is kindly advising them to exit to Uhuru Park. Maybe he has a plan of swearing in the failed Jubilee candidate, Kariri Njama at Uhuru Park. I was saying, this Petition is indeed true. There was a lot of skewed marking of last year’s KCPE exams. The issue that I want to bring to the attention of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research and why I mention the budgetary allocation that we allocated to the Ministry of Education is simple. I have ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to begin from where the Leader of the Majority has stopped with the example of the East African Marine Cable. If we get all manner of brokers as he has said and any of them can offer a better deal and negotiate with those two providers then, why not? We are talking about public funds being used and we must ensure it is in the most prudent and efficient way. I can hear the Leader of the Majority Party saying these are private funds. They are private funds which private investors are coming to ...

manipulate the processes. I want to ask the Chair to consider moving a further amendment on Clause 44A by deleting (b) and also under direct procurement to remove the issue of urgency. Urgency is created and Hon. Mbadi has probably suffered under this with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). Why restrict and go for direct procurement because of urgency and time required? You have all the time to determine what you need. There is no private investor who will walk into this country and get into some contracts with some urgency without having evaluated what is required. I ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I oppose this amendment. My reason is simple, as I had stated earlier. Yes, you are putting private capital but this private capital is expected to be recouped from public funds not through profits from some enterprise. Therefore, it is important and imperative that the Office of the Auditor General is involved in audit of any project where public money is being used, whether it is at the beginning of the project, at inception or at the end of the project. I want to give the example of this Expressway from Jomo Kenyatta International ...
